Welcome to Sir William Perkins's School

At Sir William Perkins's School, students are at our heart. We expect the best from them and in return they can expect the best from us - both in terms of teaching of the highest quality, and in receiving the tailored support and attention they need to achieve.



We know our students, their talents, hopes and aspirations; and in turn we seek staff who actively encourage our students to explore their interests and achieve their potential in an innovative and inspiring atmosphere.



Founded in 1725, we are a warm and friendly independent school for 600 students aged 11-18. Set in 13 acres of attractive green-belt grounds in Surrey, SWPS is a beautiful environment with first-rate facilities, in which both staff and students flourish.



Easily reached by road or public transport, we are a two-minute walk from Chertsey Train Station, with direct links to London Waterloo and surrounding towns.

Academic Ethos

We believe that academic success is founded on knowing every individual and providing an ambitious academic enrichment programme which engages all students, allowing individual strengths to flourish. With a curriculum which incorporates interdisciplinary thinking and ambitious content, students follow a personalised academic journey which allows their passions to thrive.



With life beyond Sir William Perkins's on the horizon, we follow a curriculum that equips each student with the means to develop their intellectual abilities as well as their personal and social values.



Learning here is not just about passing exams, but about a shared love of intellectual adventure. All students follow an exciting and dynamic curriculum that encourages innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration. Students are able to discover their strengths and interests via a broad, balanced range of academic, cultural and creative subjects.



Our outstanding teachers' passion and enthusiasm inspires students to develop a genuine, lifelong love of learning and encourages students to think independently. Academic success is founded on staff knowing each and every individual student; success that comes in many different forms, be that in external examinations, national competitions, or securing a place at a high-tariff university. Students have the opportunity to personalise their learning journey and develop independence of mind, supported by adaptive teaching, ensuring all students achieve academically.
